president obama won women by 13 points in 2008. and what we're going to be looking at tonight is married women. unmarried women are overwhelmingly for the president. 70% went for him last time. and it's running about 65% in the polls. married women have not gone often the way married men have. they've gone off him, big-time. we need to know why that's true. whether it's an economic vote. married men and women are in the same place economically. or whether, for the first time, the social issues have mattered. they never have before. >> from the very beginning of this campaign, you heard democrats talk about the republican campaign war on women. governor romney trying to turn that back to the economy. >> the romney campaign made a big bet. they made a bet that women in this election, more than ever, care more about the economy than any other issue. they care more about the economy than national security issues. and the democrats made the big bet. they put sandra, a woman who went toe-to-toe with rush limbaugh ahead. the romney campai
